Sydney/Adelaide (fuck yeah, Internet communications) duo Collarbones have premiered their new single online. The track is called ‘Hypothermia’, and is apparently the lead single from their upcoming new album ‘Die Young’, which is due out on the 28th of September.

To be honest it’s taken longer than I expected for new projects to rise from the ashes of The Philly Jays, but after a long wait Simon Berkfinger has resurfaced in the music scene as Feelings, and dropped his first solo single ‘One In A Million’.

Cosmo Jarvis played a wonderful acoustic set last evening in the idyllic surrounds of the iconic Pure Pop Courtyard to a rapt crowd that spilled into the record store itself and the street beyond. All the way from the UK, it seemed a pity that Cosmo was only playing this one show in Melbourne, but thankfully he will be returning in December with his band to play more venues, and given his performance at Pure Pop it’s not hard to see most of the audience returning to see him again.

Following the announcement that their hotly anticipated second album will be entitled ‘Coexist’, The XX will return to Australia this July for two intimate shows in Melbourne and Sydney. I caught the band last time they were here, and while they were only ‘good’ at Laneway I imagine that they are much better suited to headline indoor shows as opposed to festivals, so this really is a tour not to be missed.

Tigertown are a brand new discovery of mine, but I’m already really enjoying the Sydney six-piece band’s music, especially their latest single ‘﻿Lions And Witches’﻿, which is taken off their upcoming second EP. Their debut EP, released last year, was extremely well-received, and it seems that the band are onto a winning formula with their melodic, lush pop music. ‘﻿Lions And Witches’ ﻿recently got the video clip treatment, and you can find that video below along with all the good stuff.
